New School Music

Think about how much music has changed over times that you listened to when you were a child to what you own kids listen to now.

Hip-Hop has changed over the decades some of these decades include the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Hip-Hop came from New York, few people knew about Hip-Hop when it was first being created in the late 1970s. Hip-hop did not really emerge until the 1980s when more Hip-Hop artist recorded and released more music. The 1990s came along Hip-Hop turned more vulgar which is also my favorite Hip-Hop era. The early 2000s is the most memorable. Hip-Hop has evolved into many forms some rock bands have even done a Hip-Hop album bands like the most memorable. Hip-Hop has evolved into different forms some rock bands have even done a Hip-Hop album bands like Limp Bizkit.

Styles are what makes the music change. For instance, traditional Ragtime style moved to Dixieland which moved to Bebop. And from there traditional jazz was created. But jazz kept progressing the way it did. Bebop to the birth of Cool. Cool to Funk and Fusion. Funk and Fusion to Free Jazz. And so on. So where is our music heading? Our styles from jazz has moved to a new style that is now apart of our era. This new style can create a form of inspiration towards the listener. This inspiration can breach outside of music and into the present time. For traditional jazz to create inspiration may only be within the music itself since the style is so far passed. "I've found from my own life that I can get more accomplished by getting a person inspired to do something. Inspiration, not intimidation." (Hancock, page 7).

When the numbers of teenage arrests increased, parents were quick to blame rock and roll for being a bad influence on their children. However, most of their children’s antics were a result of feeling repressed by their parents’ strict rules; they acted out only as a form of rebellion against their conservative parents. Some people, not worrying about the psychological well being of the people around them, simply thought the new music sounded strange. In some social situations, the “elite” people acted like they were too good for new music; they said that people lower on the socioeconomic ladder were the only ones listening to rock and roll. Not only that, but also when radio stations played rock and roll, they risked alienating older fans who were used to the older music

Music is a beautiful piece of art work. It can send messages about politics, it can soothe a broken heart, or it can bring a family closer together. Music is such an important aspect in a household because it could very well be the only thing a family can connect on. The Father and Mother share their taste of music with their kin just as their parents did for them and along with their parents. The music being passed down receives a change along the way. My Father showed me Heavy Metal, Hair Metal, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, whereas my Mother showed me 80s pop, some country, and other various genres. Some of the music passed down from generation to generation may be derived from where our ancestors lived. I have recently found out, through my Mother

Social classes in America changed greatly in the 18th century because of the economic success that occurred at this time. “Expanding trade made possible the emergence of a powerful upper class” (Foner, 123), which also made possible the emergence of a weaker lower class. The upper classmen of the colonies, also known as the colonial elite, were the ones who planted staple crops or the ones who rule colonies. Although there were no set social rankings, it was clear that prominent men controlled the colonies’ governments. Planters of the colonial elite no longer had to worry about if they were going to be able to pass their wealth down to the next generations in their family; prominence in the 18th century became possible through family relations.

Want to look back and see how much Hip hop has changed over the years? Hop in your car, turn on the radio and tune into 103.5 or 102.5 then tune into 101.1, feel old yet? Well thats because you are, and if you didn’t do what I said, or even care, the radio station 101.1 plays hip hop and Rnb hits from the 90’s and the early 00’s. If you compare the sound, lyrics, and even the style of music, the difference are quite drastic. But listen closely to the stations because the contrasts are quite telling of the standards of music in our current times.

Over the last couple of years, numerous people have asked the question, “Is hip-hop really dead?” Or, I really miss the old hip-hop with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tupac, or N.W.A. Lately, if you turn the radio on hip-hop sounds different, but is it really dead? The answer is no. It is very much alive. Yes, it is a fact that hip-hop has changed. It is also a fact that it going to continue to change, because that is what music does. That is the beautiful thing about music, it has the tendency to change, yet bring people from all over together. In fact hip-hop is evolving. Over the past three decades hip-hop has become one the largest growing industries around the world. Hip-hop is not only the largest in the music industry but has the largest economic

It is hard to believe that hip-hop has been around for over 40 years. It is now 2017 and more rappers are coming out than ever before. Some rappers are very unique. Others, in my opinion, have just killed the sound of hip-hop and have either auto-tuned their voice or just make music that has no meaning. Rap has definitely changed over the years and I feel that more rappers are getting the opportunity to make music than ever before. I believe some traditions have died, but rap is different and more unique than it ever was before. Though there may be some hidden, underground gems in the pile of rubbish that has come to represent the genres, only mainstream tracks receive enough play and make enough money to support artists and their art. When

A lot of heat and controversy surrounds capital punishment in today’s society. The death penalty was built into the Texas justice system in 1835 and has retained most of its strength compared to the rest of the states. The famous motto “Don’t Mess with Texas” stands true when concerning the death penalty; In Kenneth William’s article, “Texas: Tough on Murderers or on Fairness?.” Williams states, “No one promotes this message [Don’t Mess with Texas] more than Texas prosecutors with their use of the death penalty. While the nation as a whole has become somewhat ambivalent about capital punishment, Texas prosecutors continue to seek death sentences on a regular basis, and the state

Hip hop culture is known for its negative reputation. It is often thought as an entrance way into gangs, illegal drug activity, and malicious behavior. In today’s culture it is important to lead kids toward a positive direction in life but the hip hop culture of today is not steering youth in that direction. This is because hip-hop has moved away from what it was supposed to be used for. This genre of music was supposed to be used to for personal expression and growth not to create negative images for the youth and encourage them to change their behaviors and beliefs. Hip hop was supposed to give hope to the youth. Give them a reason to pursue their dreams and give them a positive outlook on life. Are there artists who keep it “old

Popular music is often one of the best lenses we have through which to view our own cultural orientation. Many of the artistic and experimental shifts in popular music have mirrored changes in our own society. For instance, the emergence of Elvis Presley as a public figure would signal the start of a sexual revolution and the growth in visibility of a rebellious youth culture. Similarly, the folk and psychedelic music of the 1960s was closely entangled with the Civil Rights, anti-war and social protest movements. In this regard, we can view popular music as an artifact through which to better understand the time and place in which it is produced. In light of this, the state of popular music today may suggest troubling things about our society.

R&B and Hip Hop music has definitely changed over the years. It is now very degrading to women, less subtle, and a bad influence on people. Music used to motivate people and teach them how to treat women right. Now music tells people how to talk down to women and have power over them. Songs used to talk about sex before but in a way where it was not as noticeable; but now it is very common to sing or rap about one’s sexual fantasies. Many songs now only

All music has changed tremendously throughout the years. Each generation has several specific songs that defines that generation. Every song has different lyrics that describe the emotions that the artists are feeling. The songs connect to each individual in many different ways. Lyrics to a song is what makes music wonderful. Each song touches someone through ways like teaching a life lesson or touching your heart. Every generation has music that impacts the world by motivating people to do certain things or defines a person’s personality. Each generation has music that defines the generation.
